TheGuv Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 32 minutes ago, Joelinton7 said: Many of our home victories have been massively helped by the atmosphere at SJP. Players, coaches and board members have all alluded to this. Atmosphere has been non existent at times this season. Brighton was a perfect example. We began running before we could walk with what the likes of Silverstone et al have implemented/tried to implement. I was thinking earlier on just how much the Club have gotten wrong off the pitch since the summer of 2023 (placement of singing section, standing areas, ballots etc). I’m not sure they quite know what they’re doing in all honesty. We’re now seeing a knock on effect of those very decisions in regards to the atmosphere that were so pivotal in 21-22 and 22-23. Am I bitter? Well…yes. Am I wrong? Others can be the judge of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was honking at fingerblasting lasses when I was 14, should I always compare my current fingerblasting skills to how bad I was at 14, or maybe it’d be better to compare it to how class I was 2 years ago as it’s more relevant And compared to 2 years ago my fingerblasting skills are stale and sone lasses might say honking, but they’re still shitloads better than when I was 14 Edited October 27 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it’s a bit over the top, but there’s clearly context when making a comment like that. You come across pedantic, like you’re trying to win the internet or something.

ILCAML Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 8 minutes ago, Fak said: Can’t see any of them wanting to manage us tbh. And given we don’t have the financial wiggle room to give Isak a better contract I assume we won’t have the financial wiggle room to pay any of those what they’d want. That's an entirely different discussion, although I do think Allegri and Xavi if not ZZ would listen and be interested. And I'm not sure if manager's wages go into PSR calculation the way player's fees and wages do. But if you want to be where you'd think PIF want to get with this club then you have to make that next step sooner or later. 8 minutes ago, Shearergol said: With this squad, agreed. Our transfer activity for 3 windows has been awful. That's the whole point. If you sign a manager like that then you give him 3 years just as you'd give them to Howe or Potter or Amorim or Xabi Alonso and see how different your team looks then.

But embarrassing when you see most other teams are getting alot of joy (see the Arsenal Liverpool game) Was telling before the game that stat flashed up of 50 corners 0 goals. When it’s routinely clip it to burn, who not even be knows where his headers will go, then we are never scoring from them. Don’t even mix it up and try to knock one outside box etc. it’s literally clip it back post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 We used to be pretty inventive with set pieces. Often picking out Bruno on the edge of the box or round the back. They're dreadful now even with Trippier in the team we just aren't a threat at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Sad reality, the overall results for us this calendar year is where we are as a squad. Can’t expect more when it’s still Almiron/Murphy RW, slow CBs etc. Howe got the most of the guys in 22/23, those players like Longstaff / Almiron etc are NEVER hitting that level again. As they never showed anything close to it before. Just the issue is, has Howe got us set up where if we brought in 3 players, would we be better? And for me, that’s a no. Just can’t get going with a flat midfield three. He changes that, and it gives me hope that with additions we could go forward under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Sorry just combining two posts I've made here... Including friendlies in the calendar year of 2023 we averaged out at 1.7points per game. 1.6points for 2024 (thus far). I don't think things are as bad as being made out at all like. Albeit, they're not going the right direction at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
